The authors challenge conventional beliefs about the English Civil War by emphasizing the importance of strategy and tactics over resources in determining the outcome. Utilizing a diverse array of contemporary sources, they argue that Parliament's victory was not a foregone conclusion, suggesting that military decisions played a crucial role in the war's progression. This fresh perspective invites readers to reconsider the factors that led to the triumph of Parliament during this pivotal historical conflict.

A major gap in the body of work available in print to researchers into the military history of the English Civil War is army lists of the New Model Army. This title presents for the first time listings by regiment of the commissioned officers who fought in the New Model Army from the invasion of Ireland in August 1649 to the disbandment of many of its units in 1660 and the embedding of the remainder into the new royal army in the years that followed.
